I have 6+ year
experience designing, administering and troubleshooting ALL
Microsoft products. In my experience, unless you have complete
hardware failure, most problems can be fixed without buying a new
computer.
Common causes of computer slowness are the following:
Spam
Spyware
Adware
Low RAM
Low Disk Space
Disk space (or hard drive
space) is used to save your files and a portion of it is used or
RAM. Low disk space may cause your computer to crash.
RAM stands or Random Access
Memory. Low RAM will cause your computer to be sluggish and
potentially freeze. If you have Windows XP or Vista it is
recommended you have 1.5gb - 3gb of RAM
Advertising supported software
Software installed on a
computer to intercept or take partial control over the user's
interaction with the computer, without the user's informed
consent.
Spamming is the abuse of
electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send
unsolicited bulk messages.
